Abstract

Flavanone 3$\beta$-hydroxylase (FHT) is an enzyme acting in the central part of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. FHT catalyses the hydroxylation of flavanone to dihydroflavonols in the anthocyanin pathway. In this paper we describe the cloning and expression of the genes encoding the flavonoid-biosynthetic enzyme FHT in Gypsophila paniculata L. A heterologous cDHA probe from Dianthus cavophyllus was used to isolate FHT-encoding cDHA clones from Gypsophila paniculata L.. Inspection of the 1471 bp long sequence revealed an open reading frame 1047 bp, including a 190 bp 5' leader region and 288 bp 3' untranslated region. Comparison of the coding region of this FHT cDHA sequence including the sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana, Citrus sinensis, Dianthus caryophyllus, Ipomoea batatas, Matthiola incana, Nierembergia sp, Petunia hybrida, Solanum tuberosum, Vitis vinifera reveals a identity higher than 69% at the nucleotide level. The function of this nucleotide sequences were verified by comparison with amino acid sequences of the amino-terminus and tryptic peptides from purified plant enzyme, by northern blotting with mRHA from wild type and mutant plants, by in vitro expression yielding and enzymatically active hydroxylase, as indicated by the small dihydrokaempferol peak. Genomic southern blot analysis showed the presence of only one gene for FHT in Gypsophila paniculata.

Flavanone 3$\beta$-hydroxylase (FHT)는 flavonoid 생합성 경로의 가장 중심부에 작용하는 효소로 flavanone으로부터 dihydroflavonol으로의 변환을 촉매하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 색소유전자의 전이를 통하여 새로운 색소발현체계를 가진 품종을 육종하기 위한 기초연구로 숙성안개초 (Gypsophila paniculata L.)의 꽃봉오리로부터 cDNA-library를 합성하였고 카네이션의 FHT 유전자를 probe로 사용하여 anthocyanin 합성경로의 중요 효소의 하나인 FHT 유전자를 분리하였다. 염기서열분석을 수행하여 분리유전자의 크기가 1471 bp 이며 이 중 coding region은 1047 bp 임을 확인하였다. 이미 밝혀진 다른 식물체의 FHT 유전자와 서로 염기서열의 일치성을 비교해 본 결과 아라비돕시스, 오렌지, 카네이션, 고구마, 스톡, 페튜니아, 감자 및 포도에서 각각 69% 이상을 나타내었다. 분리유전자의 발현을 확인하기 위하여 Northern blot분석 및 인위적으로 기내에서의 transcription과 translation을 수행하였고, 분리한 유전자의 효소활성을 측정해 본 결과 dihtydrokaempferol의 작은 peak을 확인하였다. Southern blot 분석의 결과 안개초의 FHT 유전자는 다른 대부분의 식물체와 유사하게 한 개가 존재함을 확인하였다
